I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.
severance offer seems low. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving tbh.
I have worked at this company for 9 years. My position is exempt and I do not have a written employment agreement beyond the standard offer letter.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?
Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services no cap.
Real talk: just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
Been there. Here's what I learned.
A lot of people mess up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.
Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's not worth litigating, even if you're in the right. If the disputed amount is $500 and attorney fees would be $3,000, consider whether the principle is worth the cost. Write-off the loss and learn from it.
